An extension for the design database model is presented,in order to comply to the LOM standard for learning objects, and acase study using a course creation tool is reported.","PeriodicalId":358674,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Microelectronics Systems Education","volume":"51 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2003-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131147118","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Where there is a good match between the design contest and class goals, a competition can be both useful and gratifying for both instructor and student. On the other hand, contests aren't a panacea. Students who are highly motivated and competitive make good contestants. Students whose goal is to get a degree aren't always interested in contests.
